High-speed chase on I-10 endangers rush-hour motorists

Update: Local reports say the suspect seen on live TV leaping from a van during a high-speed chase along the Katy Freeway on Friday afternoon has been captured.

According to KHOU, D-Nice Palm, 22, was found at a treehouse near Interstate 10 and Wirt Road on Friday evening.

KPRC reported earlier that before the pursuit, Palm was wanted in connection with a Thursday kidnapping in which a woman was stuffed into a vehicle’s trunk. The victim was reportedly rescued after officers were called to the scene and two suspects fled. One man, identified as Travon Baul on KPRC, was arrested on Thursday.
